LA19-14-06M: 6 GHz OEM Vector Network Reflectometer Module
The LA19-14-06M instrument is a compact Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) module designed to be embedded into OEM applications. It is a turnkey solution that enables fast and flexible microwave vector measurements within an embedded system. The module is provided with extensive cross-platform software and programming examples are available in multiple languages. The instrument features a novel calibration store feature (patent applied) that aids temperature measurement stability over time.
Key Benefits
- OEM Module designed for integration into end-user applications
- Wideband 300 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range (usable to 6.4 GHz)
- Optimised design for S11 vector measurements (also supports S21)
- Fast 100 μs per point sweep speed for S11 vector measurements
- Time domain reflectometry (TDR) utility included
- Exceptionally low trace noise (0.006 dB rms at maximum 140 kHz operating bandwidth)
- Unique on-board inline calibrator helps to reduce drift due to environmental conditions
- Control via user interface, API or SCPI
- Signal generator (CW and frequency sweep) utility
Product Description
The LA19-14-06M uses a single board design in order to provide a uniquely affordable solution which nevertheless includes a unique on-board electronic calibrator that can be used to store calibrations and improve the instrument's temperature performance. The instrument also offers exceptionally low trace noise of the order of 0.006 dB rms at its maximum operating bandwidth of 140 kHz, a maximum measurement speed of 100 μs per point for S11 measurements and 10 Hz frequency setting resolution.
The LA19-14-06M can be supported by most commercially available calibration kits as well as LA Techniques' precision PC3.5 calibration kits and Easy-Cal electronic calibration module.
